Use Your Love of Technology to Lead Traditional- and Distance-Learning Success

You love your gadgets because they help you work smarter, and you’re inspired to show others how technology can help them teach and learn more effectively. With your affinity for both education and technology, this specialized leadership path can yield rewarding professional and financial growth.

The Doctor of Education with a concentration in Instructional Technology and Distance Education is unique in the way it merges both instructional technology and distance education fields into one comprehensive career program. You will be challenged to lead schools, corporations or public sector agencies to improve teaching and learning through the scientifically valid applications of instructional technology.

If your career interests involve more hands-on administrative or instructional leadership than dedicated research work, the Ed.D. is likely a better match to your goals than a Ph.D.

Graduates with a Doctor of Education in Instructional Technology and Distance Education have built rewarding careers as instructional technologists, educational software consultants, and directors of educational technology, training and development, or distance learning.
